ON MY HEALTH -- x-posted everywhere
Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck.... Church, you're not calming me down. ><;;;

Okay, so..... This morning I got told that there could be something ELSE that's making me sick, and really, none of this is very good.... But so far, here's the things it COULD be.....


Peptic Ulcer: This is what my doctor said I had, the one time I got to see her and she looked at me for it. She prescribed me Zantac for it, which I take twice a day, and doesn't really do much.

FSC - FireSafe Cigarettes: I'll admit it, I'm a social smoker. Basically, that means I end up sharing about 4 cigarettes a day with Michi, which equals out to about two a day for me. If you are a smoker, DO NOT BUY THESE. We didn't know about the switch until someone told us, so we had been smoking them before and while I was sick. After switching back and buying only Non-FSC, we've started feeling a bit better.

E.Coli: A while ago, but as I recall after I had already been sick, Mattigan got some cookie dough in a tub from the store and let me have some in a bowl. Yesterday we got a phone call about it, and today it's in the newspaper that they're recalling that brand of cookie dough because it's been causing cases of E.Coli.

I need to get to the damn doctor, dude. Looking at some of this stuff is just scary.

Coinciding symptoms include:
- Heartburn (though not as frequent with Zantac)
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- No Apetite
- Abdominal Pain
- Fatigue

At HealthLine.com, putting those symptoms into their search brings up over 20 different illnesses that it could be. And you know what the top two are? Peptic Ulcer and E.Coli. x_x;;;

Bloody hell, I'm so scared. x_x;;;

AND NOW FOR A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS

A friend/mentor/idol of mine on LJ, Kalika Maxwell, has recently published a book, and I'd like to plug it for her, because she's been a sweetheart to me while I've been sick. I know her writing is good, because she's one of my favorite fanfic authors, EVAR. Link to her adpost for it: HERE ---- Go check it out, read the short story, and if you're digging it, $5 for a book isn't that bad. IT HAS BUTTSEX AND SPACE PIRATES. What more do you need? XD

I plan on reading it while I'm bedridden to cheer me up a bit. *gush* I'm so proud of her! I've got to get Michi writing with me soon. If all I'm good for recently is laying around and being amusing, the least I could do is write it down. XD;; Bre-chan, wherever you are, I want to know about how your writing is going, too!!

God, actually, I'd like to hear how ALOT of people are doing.... I'm so out of the loop. u_u;;;
